Preparing to Meet the Lord

A homily for the Solemnity of the Birth of John the Baptist, by Father Darrin Connall: Celebrating the birth of John the Baptist, who prepared the way for the Lord, is a fitting time for us to consider how we ready ourselves to meet Jesus at the end of our lives. The devotion of receiving the Eucharist on nine first Fridays is a concrete way to do just that.
